Gene Price Motorsports Driver Greg Pursley Hoping Top Finish at Portland
Will Close Gap in Title Chase

PARKER, ARIZ (July 15, 2009) Greg Pursley, driver of the Gene Price
Motorsports Chevrolet in the NASCAR Camping World Series-West, will
visit Portland International Raceway for the first time in NASCAR
Camping World Series action in the Bi-Mart/Salute to the Troops "125"
on the beautiful 1.98-mile road course. Pursley, who started his racing
career on road courses, will find a challenging, flat, and fast layout
at Portland, but all the elements that fit his driving style as he looks
to close the gap in the championship chase.

But new challenges are exactly what fuels Greg Pursley and his team
owner Gene Price. The Gene Price Motorsports team formed over last
winter and still has a lot of building to do, but in their first race
together they were victorious at Kyle, Texas and have stayed in the top
five of the point standings all season. While Eric Holmes, Jason Bowles,
and David Mayhew lead him in the standings at present, there is still a
lot of racing yet to do this season and a solid result this weekend will
go a long way.

"I like racing road courses," Pursley stated. "You have the chance to
race your own race no matter where the other cars are. It is about pit
strategy, teamwork, and driving every lap better than the next guy.
The Portland layout will be a test but that is what makes racing fun.
I expect a really good show and I am confident we can be there at the
end."

The Gene Price Motorsports crew lead by crew chief Danny Crafton have
been working tirelessly in the shop building race cars, completing the
shop for production and service work, along with racing and testing. The
foundation has been laid for a successful team for years to come and
this season has already been a huge success. "To be honest we are better
than we planned," Pursley said. "We knew we would be a solid team. I am
proud of the whole team and their efforts so far this season, so the
best is yet to come and Portland could be the best."

Pursley and his team tested a similar type layout at Button Willow and
feel they have a car to win at Portland. "I know Portland is flat and
will require a good braking setup," Pursley said. "The car tested really
well and I am looking forward to racing on the Portland track. It is
getting down to that point in the season when there are no mulligan's
and every lap counts. We had a great car at Sonoma until contact at the
end so we are really focused on a better result this weekend."

Greg Pursley in his second full season of competition in the NASCAR
Camping World Series. He has 24 career starts, one win (Thunder Hill
2009), six top five and eleven top ten performances. Pursley is the 2004
NASCAR Whelen All American Series national champion where he competed at
Toyota Speedway and was a multi-time winner on the now defunct NASCAR
Southwest Tour where he competed for many years.
